BOOKS CLUB of INDIA

In the days when books on romance, friendship and corporate culture have become popular, Kota Neelima touches upon a grave problem of the agricultural India. Her newest book 'Shoes of the Dead' is about a farmer who commits suicide due to successive failure of crops and burden of debts. Though it might seem age old problem and thing of past but it still prevails and has much deeper impact on the socio-political aspects of India. 

'Shoes of the Dead' is a chilling novel that portrays the harsh realities of the Indian farmers in modern India. The novel is a more of a documentary on the life of farmers living in central India who has to put up with plenty of ordeals for peanuts. 

The novel focuses on central character Gangiri who is a brother of the victim Sudhakar Bhadra. Sudhakar is a farmer who commits suicide as his crops have failed in succession and has a heavy debt on his head. Unfortunately, the Mityala community fakes out the news of suicide committed by several such farmers and cancels out on the compensation to their families. Gangiri sets his foot forward towards this injustice and he determines to change the prevailing situation. 

Will Gangiri be able to fight back or will he become a victim to the system. Shoes of the Dead makes an interesting read as Gangiri sets off a series of events that threatens the career of a young politician Keyur Kashinath. The book certainly gives out fascinating insights on the dynastic politics functions and the working of Indian political and democratic system of India. 

The book is now available for online purchases as well. Infibeam.com, one of the most preferred online shopping sites especially for books has made this phenomenal book available on its online racks.

The Great Gatsby is much in talk these days as the novel has been again adapted into a Hollywood movie starring super stars like Leonardo Di Caprio, Tobey Maguire etc. The major reason for the movie being in buzz in India is because it also stars Amitabh Bachchan in it who plays a minuscule role of Meyer Wolfsheim.

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is undoubtedly an American classic novel and has rightly won the status of being the second best English Language novel of the 20th Century. Ever since its first publication the book has created a great buzz around the world. It shares the legacy of being an inspiration for making a movie on it for 5 times, several TV Series, Opera, Radio programs, Musical theatre, and also the latest being computer games.

The story primarily concerns itself with the affluent life style of Gatsby in U.S.A during the 'roaring twenties, the period which was named by Fitzgerald as 'the Jazz Age'. Jay Gatsby is a handsome young millionaire from North Dakota who is madly in love with Daisy Buchanan. Jay and Daisy had met during the World War-I, when he was stationed as a young officer in the south. After the war, he turns to shady business of bootlegging for getting rich and thereby trying to win over Daisy's heart again.

Daisy is an attractive woman but after the World War she marries another millionaire, Tom Buchanan. Jay and Daisy were involved in a romantic relationship before her marriage. When Jay comes back into her life as a millionaire she experiences a great conflict in choosing between her husband and Jay. What follow then is the prolonged ultra rich parties, great music and twist and turns that bring about the tragic end of Gatsby's life.

The book is surely a catch to read with its stimulating intellectual conversations, poetic prose, rich symbolism, and more so it expresses 'The American Dream'. While there is still time for the movie to hit the theatres, it is ideal time for grabbing your own copy and reading it. The book is available on infibeam.com, one of the best destinations for buying books online.

This book talks about the cyber security, growing surveillance, and the future of the internet. The book in fact serves as a warning that internet has become a tool of the police state and that the increasing use of it is leading the world towards totalitarianism. The primary concern of the book is society's relationship with the internet security. Google, Facebook, Twitter have become some of the utmost surveillance sites ever in the history and they carry much of personal and public data which can prove to be fatal for all. Cryptology according to them is a science that can save the world from becoming totalitarian.

As described by Oliver Stone, "Cypherpunks is gripping, vital reading, explaining clearly the way in which corporate and government control of the internet, poses a fundamental threat to our freedom and democracy". The book Cypherpunks: Freedom and The Future of The Internet is a conversation between Julian himself, a co-founder of WikiLeaks, Jacob Appelbaum (WikiLeaks/Tor Project), Andy Müller-Maguhn (Chaos Computer Club) and Jérémie Zimmermann (La Quadrature Du Net). These conversations are edited and presented together in thematic chapters for easy reading of the book. It is a genuine debate between the four of them with proper, well polished and convincing arguments.

The chapters deal in detail on topics such as The Militarization of Cyberspace, Fighting Total Surveillance with the Laws of Physics, Private Sector Spying, Censorship, The Internet And the Politics, The Internet and the Economics etc. According to Slavoj Žižek this book is an "Obligatory reading for everyone interested in the reality of our freedoms."

In short, in words of Naomi Wolf this book is “a wake-up call about a possible dystopian future, which is a technological reality now… While messengers of dangerous outcomes are always met at first with hostility and even mockery, history shows that we disregard such warnings as these at our peril." This book is now available in India on the popular online shopping portals like infibeam.com. Infibeam is one of the best online destinations for buying books as they cater to the needs of various book genre readers.
